After getting praise for his brilliance in the 2023 season, Corbin Carroll officially got the recognition with a big end-of-the-season award. After this, Carroll also became the first Diamondbacks player to win the Rookie of the Year award.

Notably, it all happened because of his exploits on the field. The left fielder scored 116 runs with 76 RBIs and 25 HRs. He averaged 0.285 with an OPS of 0.868 to finish the league stage at the top of the team’s scoring list.

This proved beneficial for him and the team, paving the way for a memorable end to the season. Carroll incidentally achieved it with a ROY achievement. However, it could not have been possible without his teammates, who ensured Carroll had all the support again on the big day.

MLB reporter Sarah Langs also focused on it. She shared, “Was really cool to see some of Corbin Carroll’s teammates among those awaiting the ROY announcement with him spotted Alek Thomas, Brandon Pfaadt, and Pavin Smith [and there may have been others! Baseball is the BEST.”

Amazing! Isn’t it? Well, that’s how the D-Backs have been this season.

Arizona Diamondbacks, a Super Team With Undying Unity

When the season started, the name of Arizona Diamondbacks was not on the list of the teams expected to make it to the World Series. However, that all changed as the season progressed. They played well by checking all the boxes to make it to the playoffs. The team spirit was the reason behind it.

The same spirit was visible in their backing to Brandon Pfaadt to pitch in the deciding game in the NLCS. Considering his challenges during the league stages, he required all the support he could get. It all came his way before the game and turned into praise after his outing. This happened after the pitcher took seven strikeouts to put Diamondback in the World Series.
